I love it. It's the same quality of bs rhey pedal about Biden but aimed at other Republicans

maybe he can join the choir https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/17/politics/ryan-kelley-michigan-capitol-riot?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_post-news Former Michigan gubernatorial hopeful sentenced to 60 days in prison for role in Capitol riot

I can't believe some moderate republics didn't support Jeffries! Shameful!

I love how they all mutter when someone votes for someone other than Jordan.

Yeah that was strange. Hes got 5 defectors now, might be cooked for round 1.

I dont know anything about him either but kicking auntie Nancy out of her office seems like a troll move and all that comes with being a troll may apply

Trump can win in 2024 if Kamala Harris has the courage to do what's right

Thanks MTU. I hope Sherman's numbers hold!

Maddow raised a good point last night, she asked if a speaker jim jordon house would certify a 2nd straight Trump loss.

Congressional reporter from the hill on cspan said she has 6 that are confirmed no currently on jim jordon speaker vote Things obviously can change.

It kinda reminds me of democrats helping to elect the absolute worst most extreme candidates in the republic party primary and then rolling them in the general.

I think there's a good amount of merit to your theory but I do wonder about the govt funding coming up as well as Ukraine, both seem like they could be pretty bad under a jordan speakership

Sleepy don

WP led me to believe Duke sans Baggage had 16 detractors.

I think this debacle is a predictable result of gerrymandering yourselves super conservative districts.

American wants jim jordan? Lmao

lol a jordan charm offense where's the charm part of the offensive coming from?

so..... the next option is trump, right? lol

prolly what's best for the forum, I was definitely only going to refer to him as David Duke without the baggage

Total Shipshow.... 🤣

Idk if thus was a joke but speaking of competing interests, Olbermann said on his podcast that George Santos put out a statement that he supports whomever won't expell him from congress LOL

I think the hard right folks are louder and attention seekers and the media eats that **** up.... but if they can keep a small number consolidated they effectively have veto power over it so I think the coverage is warranted. But I'm also someone not paying attention to the coverage outside of cspan from 7 to 10am lol

The holdouts I'm referring to is the gaetz/Bobert hard right gaggle. I think you're right about the conflicting demands and the agreement for mYkev might be the only way for them to get a speaker. I worry about them not being able to support our allies but on the other hand, any legislative calendar days the house gop burns up needlessly and fruitlessly is really good for our nation.

I think in the holdouts worldview there really is no distinction between a temp and permanent speaker because the govt shutdown is so soon, they would need/want to have their chosen permanent or temp speaker for that fight specifically.

There's a congressman from Arkansas with the first name of French on Cspan and he said as of last night scalise had holdouts and was working to get them to his side, and there would be no floor vote until the outcome was as desired. Explicitly stated they wanted to avoid the myKev 15 vote debacle.
